What is Oceanography?

Synopsis: Oceanography is the study of the oceans, the largest single environment on earth. It involves scientists from all disciplines working in large international groups deploying instruments from ships, submersibles, aircraft and satellites. The largest and fastst computers in the world are barely adequate to model global ocean circulation and the complex ocean-atmosphere interactions that control the earth’s climate. This programme offers a montage of present-day oceanographic activities and stories, with a brief dip into the past and a glimpse into the future.

At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
